The start of the new school year brings with it new beginnings and new experiences. Life is ever changing but getting ready to move forward creates new opportunities and the excitement of new possibilities. Being stuck is usually associated with two things; lack of confidence and not knowing the next step. So how do you prepare yourself when you want to create something new?

1. Recognize that life is impermanentIf you look at where you were a year ago you can see that you had no knowledge of where you are now. It’s the same thing when you look at the future. You can’t determine exactly where you will be because every moment changes the story.

2. Listen to your intuitionTrust yourself...this is your journey so set clear intentions and focus on your goals.

3. Recognize the things you have already accomplishedKeep a journal so you can look back and see how far you’ve come.

4. Have faith in yourself and the unknownListen to your thoughts and feelings. Focusing on external things like other people or circumstances is likely to hold you back. Don’t doubt your dreams!

5. Take small stepsEvery step you take can lead to big changes. On a daily basis, list small things you can do. Small moments and small steps will get you where you want to go.
